OBEY - High Protocol Event at Townhouse

OBEY - High Protocol | Absolute submission

This event is all about High Protocol; acknowledging total power exchange, rules and ritual. 

Eyes down, whispered tones, submissive positions, slave furniture… you will see it all.

Will you be used if unowned?  Dare you enter the sanctuary of High Protocol?

This event will let you explore protocol in your dynamic and escape the pressures of the outside world, letting that connection between Dominant and submissive ignite.

We look forward to seeing your interpretations of High Protocol and revelling in the ritual of your connections, watching them grow deeper.

We welcome all manner of Ds play including impact, humiliation, degradation and torment. With differing levels of protocol throughout the building, find your space and embrace your desires.

An opening ceremony will be held in the Lounge at 6.30pm, be there or face the consequences! 

Unowned and available submissives will be given a wristband on entry; make yourselves known as you check in to the event.

House Rules

High Protocol areas include the Bar and the Lounge, which also becomes a play room for the evening.

The Elevation Room and adjacent outside area will be your low protocol and socialising spaces to relax, connect and make friends.

Our cellar and playrooms are available for non-sexual kink scenes, with the bunks as the dedicated aftercare space. 

High Protocol areas:

• Submissives are forbidden from speaking without permission from a Dominant, then only hushed tones are allowed.
• Submissives should give way to dominants in doorways, corridors and on stairs and will not make use of the furniture.
• Unowned or available submissives (those with wristbands) should stand against the wall until they invited to serve. Eyes down, tongue silent until spoken to.
• Submissives will be expected to order drinks for Dominants, adhering to the rules above and not engaging in discussion with another submissive in this space. Should a Dominant be at the bar, service will be prioritised.

There is no sexual play at this event in any of our public rooms.

Please do not bring food or cakes as these will not be shared openly at this event.

Dress Code

The Dress Code is strict to add to the atmosphere of the event. Jeans, trainers, pyjamas, crocs and boxers only, are not suitable attire for this event.

Dominant guests: Formal dress, leather, PVC, latex, suits or shirt and tie.

We expect all submissives to be notably dressed down compared to the dominants. Think kink wear, lingerie, chastity devices, collars.

If you are unsure please message in advance and we will be happy to help.

Our main goal is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable to explore or relish in High Protocol, allowing people to experience such a unique event in a respectful environment.

Consent

As always consent is key and your participation is never mandatory, but we ask your respect our rules.  All boundaries and safe words will be respected.

We ask our guests to arrive before 6.30 to avoid disturbing others who will already be immersed in their protocol and if you are new to the venue please ensure you have arrived by 6pm so that you can settle in before the opening ceremony.

We look forward to you joining us for this evening of ritualistic dominance and submission but be quick, tickets will vanish quicker than your dignity.
